"If all else fails, go to an emergency room at the nearest hospital. Explain your problem. If you do not have any back-up syringes and insulin to use, they will set you up with emergency supplies until you can get help from Insulet. You may even get…"

"The advice to contact Omnipod in France is good. However, given the delay in shipping new pods in an emergency, I also have learned to have an immediate back up plan : pens with short and long acting insulin (and the appropriate instructions). I…"

"Call omnipod. I had problems with my pump when I was in Europe, but I was using minimed at the time. I call them freaking out and they assured me they could ship anywhere in the world if I need it. Thank God i was able to fix my pump with their help…"

Thanks…"

"On the old system, I had much higher basal rates that my Ping pump (like, a good 10-20% higher). With the new pod system, they are pretty much the same thing at my Ping. I don't know if it has to do with how it's delivered now or what, but…"
